Shards of Gods is a cinematic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game that draws players into a captivating world where society is built upon the remnants of shattered gods and mortals wield the fractured power of fallen divinities.

You step into the roles of heroes, dive into thrilling adventures and let the dice decide your fate. Meaningful choices shape your journey and together you create unforgettable moments you will always look back on with a smile.

A tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) is a narrative game in which players take on the role of fictional characters and experience adventures together. A game master guides the group through the story while the players make decisions, solve problems and interact with the world. Dice are often used to determine the success of actions.

Shards of Gods breaks with established fantasy conventions. Its world is not guided by living gods, divine mandates, or constant intervention. The gods are shattered. What remains are echoes of divinity, woven into societies that have learned to survive without higher guidance and into mortals bold enough to claim that power.

At the heart of the game are three major gameplay systems, supported by numerous smaller mechanics that reinforce narrative choice and consequence:

The Shardbound System

Binding yourself to a Power Shard grants extraordinary abilities and reshapes your playstyle as you claim an echo of ancient divinity. Each use leaves traces behind, influencing how the world reacts to you and how your character changes over time.

Godshard Encounters

Each Godshard encounter is designed as a narrative and mechanical turning point, where dialogue, risk, and player choice matter as much as combat. Overcome or impress a Godshard, and it may leave its mark upon you in the form of an Imprint, a lasting reflection of its essence.

Evolving Items

Some items and relics in Shards of Gods may awaken and evolve through defining moments, connected to their nature. Such can be acts of sacrifice, executing cunning plans, or the pursuit of knowledge, to name just a few. Over time, an item becomes more than equipment, but a reflection of your journey, your choices, and the story you leave behind.

Shards of Gods uses its own, modular and easy to learn ruleset, which is suitable for beginners and experienced players alike.

The game is designed for 4-5 players. Another person acts as the game master (GM). This person guides the others through the adventure as they try to achieve a common goal.

This is our recommended player count, excluding the Gamemaster, as we balanced encounters etc. around this number of players.

It is your game though, so you can, of course, mix it up as you like. This is especially true for any adventures you create by using our Worldbuilding Book.

The game will be expanded in the future with new, optional content and products that can be integrated at will. Currently, the team is 100% focused on the core game.
